The Harder They Come (15)

Young Jamaican reggae singer Ivanhoe Martin, known to friends as Ivan, dreams of stardom but struggles to get his musical voice heard. He ricochets between humdrum jobs and falls victim to chancers, who prey on his naivete. Record producer Jose shows an interest in Ivan's song The Harder They Come. He encourages Ivan to join his sprawling network of drug runners, couriering marijuana around Jamaica by motorcycle with the protection of corrupt police officers.
